This documentary gives us a rare glimpse into the persona of the great director Takeshi Kitano. We see him in action directing Kikujiro, one of the greatest risks of his career. The man is a vortex of creative energy but we also see the anxiety he feels every day, worried that he might be making the biggest mistake of his life. It also features a delightful summit meeting between Kitano and the visiting Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien.
